Galleria Giorgio Franchetti alla Ca’ d’Oro (Palazzo Santa Sofia)
4 savesRecommendation by Lemi
Palazzo Santa Sofia, which now houses the Galleria Giorgio Franchetti alla Ca’ d’Oro, is an example of late Venetian Gothic architecture. The manor, built to be the home of a wealthy Venetian nobleman, seamlessly blends Moorish elements into its facade. Notice how the window frames on the main floor look like alfices, an Islamic adornment technique. Majority of its windows also feature inflected arches, typical in Eastern architecture. Take it all in from the opposite bank, as it grants the best and complete view of the elegant palazzo.

Wander through a marble manor emerging from the Venice Grand Canal. Galleria Giorgio Franchetti alla Ca’ d’Oro is a gallery housed within a former palace. Gothic pillars and patterns carve out interesting shapes on the building. Spot shadows cast on colorful marble mosaics. The balcony offers an envious view of the Grand Canal, so have fun playing around with all the possibilities! The gallery pays homage to Giorgio Franchetti, its former patron. The name also comes from the gold that covered its facade. Many of these things may have faded in time, but the gallery’s splendor has persisted high waters.

Calaguas Island
Mahabang Buhangin Beach, Calaguas Island Buhangin Beach is really like Boracay, it is 3 km long but none of the huge crowds and noisy establishments. I love how it’s still rustic despite there are already a lot of resorts lining the shore. The sand was super fine too and the water is clear and turquoise-colored – still quite pristine. I also loved the part where before the break of dawn we trekked up the hills of Tinaga Island to watch the sunrise; it was one for the books, most definitely. The mobile signal on the island is very scarce as well so it’s a nice time to take a break from social media and just enjoy the beauty of nature around you.

Balaw Balaw Restaurant and Art Gallery
I’m a fan of exotic food so I go to Angono, Rizal just for Balaw Balaw! Before, they would serve a wide variety of weird food that might make people squirm—deer, wild pig, grasshopper, frog, python, horse meat, and a lot more! These are the dishes that you won’t find anywhere else and I love them! However, DENR (Department of Environment and Natural Resources) restrictions have halted them from offering those unique dishes. The good thing about that place is the taste of the food is pleasant and the ambiance is great, even though it’s far. It’s worth coming back to!
